“Surf’s Up” is not a wipeout. But the latest computer-animated family-oriented action comedy, a well-intentioned nod to surfing culture, doesn’t leave much in the way of entertainment value in its wake.

Experienced cartoon feature directors/co-writers Ash Brannon and Chris Buck enlist a solid voice cast and craft some wowing natural background landscapes to enrich their world of anthropomorphized fowlwho trip the waves fantastic. Regrettably, the script is neither funny nor silly enough for the kiddies, touching enough for the grown-ups nor perceptive enough about surfing to really justify the beach-bound hullabaloo.
